Beware the Sounds of Sodomy

A Christian group in Ireland is distributing an apparently completely serious pamphlet warning that allowing same-sex marriage will corrupt children by exposing them to the “sounds of sodomy.” Simon and Garfunkel could not be reached for comment. Here’s the pamphlet:

What on Earth is Sodemy supposed to sound like? And should children necessarily be exposed to the sound of heterosexual sex as well?

Judging from the illustration it should sound like church bells… not inappropriate, considering the history of the RCC.

So much resentment in not being privy to the ‘sounds of sodomy’ they seem to have decided if they cannot have it then no one else can…

Such a intense interest and curiosity in the sex life of teh ghey can only mean they resent being excluded from witnessing the sexual relations between them.

Honestly they are all totally obsessed by the concept…one could conclude that they are all closet cases, it is the only explanation that might fly!

Wait, they think that marriage increases the frequency and volume at which couples have sex? If you want to reduce the amount of passionate gay sex going on you should be in favor of gay marriage.

“Should children be exposed to sounds of sodomy?”

“Should children be exposed to this beastly obsession with unholy acts?”

“Should the sounds of sodomy echo in the halls of a Christian home?”

Reading this, I would have assumed it was an anti-Catholic pamphlet.

When an opposite-sex couple commits sodomy, there’s no sound. Right?

#1. Hunter,

Thanks for the link. Its good to know that it exploded in their faces like that.

If two straight people engage in sodomy in a forest — does it make a sound? (Apart from the Pope straining to shit).

I see the pamphlet refers to the “scarament” of marriage. Somebody’s scared all right!

I heard the sounds of sodomy once. I still can’t figure out who the Indiana father that all the yelling was about.

First it was “erototoxins” we had to worry about, now it’s “erotocoustics?” It can’t be worse than the sound of a kid slurping the last of his soda-pop through a straw.

The last time we got all upset about the “sounds of sodomy,” it was from dial-a-porn phone services that kids were calling up. If that’s still what they’re upset about, they should just say so, instead of screaming gibberish and making everyone wonder whether they’re even serious.

@2: if you’re doing it right, it should sound like a circular saw cutting through a 2×4.

I will never heard the phrase , “Hello, darkness, my old friend” in quite the same way.

Presumably they’re rejecting the Bible as an authority – since the “The words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls…”

Dammit cycleninja @17 beat me to it. When I read the tagline that song immediately jumped into my head. Still “Sounds of Sodomy” would make an interesting progressive death metal band name.

I thought they were speaking out against pedophile priests that the church protects from justice…then I read the article and realized they’re just another group of clueless fundie idiots.

That wasn’t sodomy — that was me clearing a clog in the upstairs toilet with a plunger.

Oh, by the way: That’ll be $82.50.

“Hello fifty shades of dark?”

See, that’s what they’re talking about — people like caseloweraz shoving their plungers down our kids’ throats! And billing their parents for it…
